Abr. 19, 2023Avellanas: Se espera producción récord de más de 100 mil toneladas en Georgia
According to the Association (the cadastre of hazelnuts is not yet completed), the total area of hazelnut orchards in the country is about 70 000 ha. This means that the yield of hazelnuts last year was about 500 kg per 1 ha, while, based on the average, it should have been 700-800 kg per 1 ha. Accordingly, farmers received less income. Meanwhile, in healthy orchards in various regions of Georgia, the yield of hazelnuts is 2.5-3 tonnes per 1 ha, in some orchards it reaches 3.5 tonnes per hectare. If farmers are actively involved and do all the necessary work, the yield in their orchards will reach 1.5-2 tonnes per 1 ha in two seasons.
This means that the hazelnut harvest in the country will exceed 100 000 tonnes, and its implementation will bring huge income for the sector. Of course, most of the proceeds will come from the families of farmers. It should also be taken into account that if there are quality products in the orchards for several consecutive seasons, Georgian hazelnuts will be sold in a more expensive segment of the market, that is, the price will be consistently high. Current prices are volatile, because every year the country has a different harvest, and it is more difficult to sell it.
